What else was there in his garden but a “gaming chair”?
The seat is outside, unoccupied, on the North Dighton estate of Jack Teixeira, a possible nod to , the secret scandal that he committed through an online gaming platform.
The red and black upholstery is aggressive, unmuting the unheard in a world of gaming.
Is the chair his? Maybe.
The style of the sports car may have appealed to an airman who calls himself “OG” – original gangster.
It is clear that Jack Teixeira loves an audience. He was willing to risk it all – including his freedom – in order to obtain it.
He was a quiet child. Ben Rapoza, Sky News reported that Rapoza had more friends online than real ones.
Ben, 18 years old, attended the same high-school as Teixeira. He didn’t really know him. It’s hard to find someone in North Dighton who knew its infamous son.
Until now.
In this rural Massachusetts community, everyone knows the story of Jack Teixeira.
Ben said, “It certainly puts Dighton in the spotlight.” “Something as crazy as this is not typical of Dighton. It’s normally quiet and there isn’t much going on. I was shocked when I heard about it.
“I’m also a bit surprised that he was able to get his hands on those (Pentagon files).”
